As you can see, definitely not optimised and Vias#1, 2 & 3 missed completely, just like the old days. Crying or Very sad
Did you use "City Centres" (place-names), as the Vias, or did you use "Point on Map" and select a road?

It always made a difference to the Routing, but whether it makes a difference to Optimisation is another issue.

Hi Oldboy, you are correct, I chose Address - City Centre. I'll try again later with "Point on Map". ttfn.

OK, I've tried a few more LOCAL tests with a variety of input methods and my findings are ........inconclusive.

Well, that's being a bit unfair to TT really. The latest Android app does not simply visit the vias in the order you enter them, nor does it just sort them in order of distance away irrespective of direction. It does attempt to list them intelligently and optimise the route but sadly it does not always succeed. Hey, it's a step in the right direction and hopefully TT shall improve it rather than ditch it.

Just noticed that TT have also added "Drive to Lat,Long". Another plus.

I wonder if they have also added "Route Up" in 2D mode?, trouble is I'll have to get up off of the sofa to check that one out! Shocked

Mañana maybe.

They Have, Obviously I've not tried it yet because I'm still sitting on the sofa but the option is "Settings -- Driving View -- 2D Map Rotation -- North Up or Route Up". Very Happy
